Re: Altair, IMSAI, SWTPC, etc. for sale in Philly
I got booted from the list when the original post came out for this. He isn't willing to ship I guess? I wouldn't mind buying the SWTPC 6800 case he has.. I have almost everything save a cpu card to build another 6800 unit.

The orange is rosin flux that was not cleaned. Isopropanol would clean that but it was built as a kit (the K suffux on the serial number tag). Its better to leave it that way. Authentic, never cleaned mine either. The PS looks to be the original version or the first update (higher voltage transformer). I'd expect power supply problems, suspect one-shots (front panel and CPU clock) and bus level noise issues. Assuming the switches are still good.

Altair, IMSAI, SWTPC, etc. for sale in Philly
* Contact Rick below if interested. * Name: Rick BunkerContact: r...@bunker.us Location: Jenkintown, PA I have a computer collection that I have to sell. My wife and I have separated, and the house is being sold, and I have no place to keep the computers in my new apartment. It is a pretty nice collection. Altair 8800, two IMSAI 8080's, an Apple ][ (not ][+ or e or anything, the first one), a TRS-80 (the real first revision, with no numeric keypad, with the original cassette drive, monitor) an LSI monitor, a KIM-1, an original IBM PC (not an XT -- original 2-floppys, original bios), an SwTPC 6800 box, with no innards. Similarly, a Cromemco box with no innards. A Northstar Horizon. Some 8-inch drives, a bunch of S-100 boards, a luggable Kaypro portable, an odd and an end or two. Lots of documentation. Some old disks which may have readable software on them. I don't power these things up, since they have power supplies that you can weld with, with 40-year-old capacitors on them. Is there anybody in striking distance of Philadelphia suburbs, who would consider buying and picking up this collection?
